Listen Open Mic: AI and the Future of Research with Erik Olesund
AI tools are showing up in every research team’s workflow. Which parts are real, and which are hype?
Join us at the Listen NYC office for a candid conversation with Erik Olesund, UX researcher at Anthropic. We’ll cover:
Why AI is entering research now, and what’s working versus what’s noise
How a research team at the frontier of AI uses it day to day
How the skills and hires on research teams are shifting
Where research is headed over the next 2 to 3 years
This will be a moderated conversation followed by open audience Q&A, and you should leave with ideas you can take back to your own team.
Come for the conversation, stay for the food, drinks and the chance to meet other researchers, insights leaders and people who are curious about the field.
